Current Issues: Reference Shelf
Plus, H.W. Wilson's new full text database of in-depth,
balanced examinations of modern issues, has been named a Library
Journal 2006 Best Reference.
Building on the convenience and accessibility of
the popular Reference Shelf book series, Current Issues:
Reference Shelf Plus presents carefully selected articles from
key publications on social, scientific, health, political, and
global issues, chosen to make up a well-rounded overview. The
database also allows users to launch searches for new information on
each topic via WilsonWeb or the Internet, and offers links to
biographical profiles from the acclaimed reference Current
Biography, for background information on key players.
Organized for easy access, and presented in an
attractive graphic display, this is a topical "information hub" for
students, educators, debate clubs, journalists, and others. Users
will find some 30 articles per topic from respected magazines and
journals, hand-picked by Wilson editors to provide impartial and
thorough research. Feature articles, editorials, scholarly papers,
and more are included, to convey a wealth of relevant facts and
perspectives. Authoritative Web sites are highlighted, including
links to primary sources (e.g. the text of the Kyoto Accord in
coverage of Global Climate Change).
Current Issues complements Reference Shelf
print subscriptions, featuring a largely different selection of
articles and subjects. It currently covers more than 80 topics, and
will grow by 20 topics annually.
Free 30-day trials are available. For more
